Osvaldo Oliveira - Estou Querendo from Festejo Junino - CBS (1968)

Osvaldo Oliveira - Estou Querendo from Festejo Junino - CBS (1968)

Although Osvaldo Oliveira later became more of a crooner, the first 8 to 10 years are his most captivating and collectible, mainly because he was recording forró. Festejo Junino is Oliveira's first compacto for CBS and 1 of 2 known from this early part of his career. It features all of the elements that made him famous: clever phrasing, hypnotic melodies and fantastic production.

About ForróLPGringo

Welcome to Forró LP Gringo. Forró is a banner term covering a variety of northeastern Brazilian rhythms and styles, including Baião, Côco, Rojão, Xaxado, Xote and Arrasta-Pé. Forró is a massive popular music genre in Brazil. It may also be the least known and exported Brazilian music. This blog was created to share northeastern Brazilian music and provide some context for the releases. As my collection has grown, my focus has shifted from cherry-picking the best tracks from long out-of-print LPs to preserving great music that has never been reissued.
